Life Coach

you want easy? i’ll show ya easy…

There’s no such thing as easy. 

There. I said it. Oh oh…

INCOMINGGGGGGGGGGGGG….

I guess the disguise didn’t fool Them.  

Damn! They find me every time. 

Wait. I thought I killed Them and They

They Must Die

I had to kill Them. Jeesh. My work is never done! (Incidentally, I just made some cookies in the shape of dead people. My kids loved  them! Sickos.)

Okay, so I guess some people don’t want to hear that there’s no such thing… READ MORE

Anger isn’t only for the birds!

Let’s talk about anger.

Why is it okay for birds to be angry, but when it comes to people getting angry, it’s just not done. Properly.

Anger is necessary. 

Anger is a gift I give to myself. 

Have you ever seen me angry? Oh. Em. Gee. Here are some of my most exquisite angry moments.

Enjoy! the worst mother

angry moms

 

 

Yeah. I know. It’s not pretty.

But it’s real.

And hell hath no fury like a mom who’s… READ MORE

The Language of FOOD

Does your food talk to you? 

when food talks

I said no!

food can't talk

And so it goes.

The battle with food never ends. As long as you believe food can talk to you, you will stay in a struggle.

But food cannot talk. 

It doesn’t have lips. 

When we say things like, “the cupcake was calling my name,” we hand our power over to the cupcake. 

Oh, and another thing: food is not your friend.

Professional Smart Ass for Hire

It’s official folks. I am a professional Smart Ass. 

Pro. 

Fessional. 

I even have a card. Check it. 

Yes, that’s sarcasm oozing everywhere. I don’t know how to turn it off! 

Anyway. 

Just wanted you to know I am now a certified, card-carrying, self-anoited, hard-core, death-defying, buttocks-kicking, bullshit-busting, knock-knock joke-lovin’ you know. 

Turning pro has had its moments, I’ll give you that. I really had to step up my game. Let’s not beat around the… READ MORE

Happy Birthday to My Bosom Buddy & Life Long Friend

My BB&LLF is celebrating a birthday today. 

Her name is Mary, but I call her Mare, Nightmare, Maria (with rolling r’s), Divine Ms. M (how original!) and sometimes even Mary Consuela Filippa Hortense Whatshername… because long names are romantic and ‘Mary’ + a bunch of other names sounds très sophisticated, too.

And perhaps kinda-sorta complicated. 

Maria is not complicated. Wait… yes no yes no yes no no she isn’t.  

Mare is beautiful.… READ MORE

Help. I have a shopping injury!

OMG, with only a few shopping days left ’til Christmas, I am in big BIG trouble. 

Despite my best efforts to be in shape for the holiday season, I have a shopping injury. 

Ahem, another shopping injury. 

Yes, I keep track. 

As you may know from previous posts, I am a most excellent shopper. Remember the time I petitioned the International Olympic Committee, begging them to make shopping (something I consider to be a bona-fide  contact sport)… READ MORE

Chief Christmas Card Opener Out of Work

I had to re-share this from last year (with a few tweaks, of course) because every year there are fewer and fewer holiday cards and sometimes I just miss “the olden days” as my darling cherubs often refer to my more youthful years. 

I remember when I was a kid we would receive one quadgatrillion Christmas cards every year. I was in charge of opening them and sticking them up on a wall dedicated to… READ MORE

The Bathroom Scale: Be afraid. Or not.

Every day we are told to: 

FACE YOUR FEAR! 

GET OVER IT. 

OVERCOME. 

FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY. 

Hmmmmmmmmmm, I’m thinking there’s got to be a better way. 

I give you Exhibit A. 

The Bathroom Scale.   

the bathroom scale

There it is. It’s just a heap o’ metal parts put together to weigh people. Or dogs. Or my purse. (Sometimes I just have to know things, like how much my purse weighs.) 

How is it then,… READ MORE

There’s something about a stinky boy and his mom…

Boys stink.

Not literally. Well, sometimes literally, but… you probably know what I mean.

I love boys. 

Go figure.

I especially love my very own stinky beautiful boy who has been home this past week for the Thanksgiving holiday. Sadly, and rather pathetically,  I pretty much reverted back to treating him as if he were a five-year-old. 

Even though I mostly saw him in the form of a blur. 

A stinky blur, but a most… READ MORE
